Sorry, but I'm not interested in getting used to tyranny.

As one that has occasionaly posted on here , though more so in the past, Breadwinner isn't completely off base in his feelings.
But there are a few things to consider in as far as a "true " mod is concerned on this site vs others . On Agriville though Charlie is posted as a moderator from my understanding he cannot function as a true mod who can delete and move posts and in effect control the flow and content of a site he can only forward requests to the site owner which is cumbersome and not always very effective as well he is under certain other considerations which may or may not influence his abilities to work smoothly as a mod.
That said I believe we owe him thanks for his efforts here and hope that he continues on. ( because he's likely the best for a bad job)
I suspect he is as frustrated as you breadwinner at times in that this forum wanders so far astray from true pure commodity marketing as it tends to do. This site must like in the rest of society we can only ask for people to police themselves and hope that they show decent restraint and or respect for others and their viewpoints as well as the intent of the site.
Agriville is my view functions much like the rest of the farming community outlets in that a few people who either have axes to grind or too much time on their hands are present and tend to push an agenda one way or the other no matter what the topic but there are also those that have a genuine interest in making agriculture a better industry for us all . You just have to winnow the wheat from the chaff on a place like this . ( though at times there's not a lot coming in the hopper)

cott,

When you said,

"The Ramblings of Bill Duke kind of pissed me off on your site pars." ,

well cott, I assumed you were addressing me.

So I posted your comments on my site, as an entry all on it's own.

Your words referred to the PN editorial, which I assumed would be best suited being rebutted on the same page as the editorial, for easier following for readers. Money/banking is a complex matter.

PN can also serve as an overflow for relief from non-commodity marketing issues,(ieCWB) as is the basis of Breadwinners complaints

I also have permission from Agriville to copy any quotes from commodity marketing to post on PN.

So I did.

Perhaps the proper thing to do was to post your comments in the COMMENTS sections directly below Duke's Editorial.

Or perhaps just leave your comments unattended on PN.

But I also observed that first time readers to AV would find it difficult to make sense of the origin of your comment to me.

cott, with your permisssion, I will be glad to cut and paste AND repost your comments in the Commentary section below the Editorial Commentary to which you refer, on PN, if you allow me to. (or you can do it yourself) Just say so. parsley2008@live.ca.

Or alternately, you can make fresh comments in the commentary section. Or write a formal rebuttal, if that turns your crank. I previously offerred that option to you.

The author of the Editorial is more than welcome to make the same request and provide the same permission. parsley2008@live.ca

Or write fresh comments.

It may be that one or the other, or both, will choose not to to have their original comments reposted, or post again in response to this topic. And that's fine, too.

Decide what you are comfortable with, and we'll go from there.

I think we need a new topic list addition, CWB Marketing. All non CWB comments should be posted here. Discuss all other market factors here. Perhaps we might be able to sort through the information better. The Harper minority was truly a sad day for me. The only hope for change was a majority. Until that happens all we can do is express dissatisfaction. Sorry, it's so political.

I didnt mind you posting it.

I did mind it being taken off.

Thought maybe somebody told you to take cottons soap box away.

And thought i would have to become no more mr.*** nice guy.

The only thing this site needs is a speed upgrade.

Just read the title of the thread and if it doesnt interest you move on to the next one.

This saves mountains of time as compared to searching through other forums.

It is not that busy of a site.

How many people actually use it?
